I suppose one nation attempting to secede - might consider using the currency of the old regime - because I cannot ever see that old regime knackering it’s own currency to bring down their enemy!If Britain had joined the Euro, it would be a lot harder politically to leave the EU but a lot easier in practice I suggest.
It might still be the case that Britain leaving the EU in practice - will bring down the Euro.
We might have to Bring Down the Euro BEFORE completing Brexit however - “thus cutting the wire fence” so to speak.It seems clear that us leaving the EU in the form of ending our ‘contributions’ would create havoc within the EU and especially the German economy thereby crashing the raison d etre of the Euro.There are too many big interests who are in too deep with the EU project in that regard to let us go without anything less than a full on war of secession v federal aggression.Which HM and her forces obviously ain’t going to be onside with.Don’t expect any miracles from controlled opposition BoJo or Farage in that regard.The dream ended with the quiet removal of both Batten and Hoey from the scene.Fast forward to around 2050-2060 to see where all this ends up going.But you can bet that if/when Lisbon is allowed to take over the agenda we’ll be in the Euro by default long before then.The difference being that this time Germany has got us exactly where it wants us ( split from Canada/NZ/Australia unlike in 1914 and 1939 and an asset stripped shell incapable to defending itself and probably much weaker in real terms than even Slovenia was v the JNA ).
Let alone CSA v USA which is probably a closer comparison of the mismatch in an inevitable sooner or later EU v UK ( call it England ) brawl.Even if we had the leadership and a united population on the country’s side for it ( see Missouri ) .
Make no mistake all this was pre planned from at least 1945 in that the US couldn’t/wouldn’t dare allow a Confederate States of Europe to take off and which are the obvious stakes if secession is shown to succeed,let alone work,in Europe now.
I can’t say I agree with you there. Just because HM “let it go” last time over Mountbatten getting bumped off by the IRA - If it came to pass that the EU “set the IRA dogs on us” by endorsing a resumption of their mainland Britain bombing campaign, then believe me - there would be some “unity” in this country against the EU that we’ve not yet seen in terms of sheer hostility to what the EU is really all about.
Enemy of the State, a State that we Brits in the end - would rather support, than risk being “punished” for supporting a foreign enemy acting against the UK.
All it takes - is for people to directly start dying, and the EU being unable to wash their hands of their involvement any longer.
“Who is like unto the Beast? - Who is able to make war with it?” Revelation 13:4
The EU has gotten away with it thus far, because the “deaths” have all been via layers of indirection.
Eg. If it costs £1,000,000 on average to save a single human life with NHS treatment upon a “Survivable ailment” - then if we give the EU that million and thus deprive the NHS of it - ONE person dies as a result.
Give the EU £50billion over the last 3 years when we could and should have left the day after the referendum result, at least in “ceasing the contributions” - then so far, “Not doing Brexit” has allowed the EU to deprive the NHS of such cash as to “indirectly” kill 50,000 people. That’s more than died in the BLITZ FFS.
We are not allowed to “badly treat criminals” any longer in this country.
Let’s see how harshly the Police treat the cop-killer pi keys under investigation in Berkshire this week…
We are not allowed to cut benefits for scroungers, without cutting benefits for the disabled as well. Cut benefits for the disabled, and everyone forgets about the scroungers, at least on the Leftist narrative.
We are not allowed to take illegal immigrants picked up from a floundering vessel anywhere - back to where they came from. Why not?
We’re not allowed to refer to “illegal immigrants” as “illegal” come to that, and bang goes the “criminal” argument, when as Non-EU citizens, what rights can they possibly have under EU law to “circumvent THEIR laws” - let alone ours in the UK?
Then of course, there’s “Transport for London” - employing so-called “Professional” drivers with minimum skills, that have seen a surge in fatalities directly down to the drivers of those buses, trams, and taxis employed under the TfL banner… Overturned Tram here, Crashed into overhanging trees there, put through a shop window the other, taking their passengers to a secluded spot to be attacked, notwithstanding as well.
Didn’t happen back in the Pre-Euro days before the floodgates were opened - did it?
